Effectiveness

This is always an opinionated subject and varies from person to person. One way to think about it is to view the more damaging steroids and the steroids with more and worse sides, as the more powerful ones. The ones you will gain the most from. Another way to look at it is to assess how different compounds can act as catalysts for other ones and make them more effective. Some will just go by how well certain substances have worked for them and/or their friends in the past. One thing is for certain, everyone will agree that Testosterone is the grandaddy of them all. It may not be the most potent or have the most gains, but it's in damn near every cycle in one way or another. It's the staple of steroids. So much so that the anabolic/androgenic rating system is based off Test. I personally think Test, Drol, Deca and EQ are by far the best mass builders for me; and I feel adding Winni, Anavar, Tren or Halo are the best cutters for me if combined with Test. I have found that Dbol is junk for me, but others swear by it. Winni pills and Winni Depot work the same for me whereas other wont even touch the pills because they think they are a waste. A lot of people won't touch Var, but I love the stuff at the end of a cycle to tighten everything up.

People will always do what works. Refer back to my cycle that didn't work. There is no way in hell I will ever run low doses like that again. But other people make amazing gains off low dosed cycles like that.

So if you want to get on some steroid website and pick your gear according to their effectiveness chart, go ahead, but you are probably wasting your time.
